Classification
Overview
The Entedoninae is one of the two largest subfamilies of the Eulophidae, with almost 1200 species in 85 genera. Members are common and abundant in all geographic realms. It is currently divided into two tribes: the Entedonini contains most of the genera and species (including all genera known to attack leafminers), and the Euderomphalini contains a small number of genera and species which are all parasitoids of whiteflies.All entedoninae are endoparasitic, and there are many species in several genera which attack leafmining insects.
Identification
Keys to genera of Entedoninae are available for Australasia (Boucek 1988) and North America (Schauff et al. 1997). Gauthier et al. (2000) provided a list all genera in this subfamily. Noyes (2002; 2003) provided an electronic catalogue for the entire Chalcidoidea.
